Seems that way sometimes!
I agree on the MRJ. Even the MRJ 70ER just barely squeaks under the MGTOW limit of 86,000 lbs @ 85,969 lbs. I wouldn't be surprised to see it come on line above that weight, eliminating it from being operated by regionals.
Well i hope your info is accurate. The number 88000 is being floated on FI. I am skeptical because it only makes sense that amr/ucal mgmt would push for maximum competition in the outsourced segment. As for the airplane itself, it sounds like it could go on a serious diet. Not only is it 6% heavier than the 175 it has 15% less range and its 14 feet longer. Somehow skywest and tsh think it is worth buying, i just dont see the advantages.
